In my opinion, one of the advantages of family involvement is that family members can contribute to decision-making. Actually, simply staying together constitutes a strength. A major strength is their intimate knowledge of the patient and what they have learned through a process of trial and error. Challenges can be probably different, depending on the caregiver burden and family members’ abilities to cope with the burden. Challenges would range from:
(1) Lack of proper education on the part of family members on how to handle the mental health, especially in the various stages of the illness.
(2) Families may face stigmatization, even from their other close relatives and friends, which may be a very difficult social challenge to deal with.
(3) Burnout should not be underestimated.

Building on the previous post, can you provide any insight on whether a bar graph would be an appropriate method to represent the educational attainment of parents?

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
